Conditioning
Every system in the body is subject to conditioning* -
Conditioning affects mind and body, thoughts, emotions, muscles and organs.
All dysfunction in the body will necessarily have conditioning related to it either as the sole cause of the dysfunction, or as a secondary reaction to perception of stress, pain or tissue damage.
Conditioning triggers, exacerbates, or is the cause of some or all symptoms of a particular condition, though they are rarely attributed to conditioning.
Eliminate the conditioned habit pattern and the symptom, illness, or disease that is associated with it can immediately reduce, change in character or intensity or disappear.
Effective methods exist to discover and immediately eliminate conditioned habit patterns.
NEXT: What is The neurobehavioral injury
*Classical conditioning (also Pavlovian conditioning or respondent conditioning) is a type of associative learning. The typical paradigm for classical conditioning involves repeatedly pairing an unconditioned stimulus with a neutral stimulus. An unconditioned stimulus is a stimulus that naturally evokes a certain response (called the unconditioned response). For instance, a light shone into a person's eyes makes them blink. In this example, the light is the unconditioned stimulus, and the blinking is the unconditioned response. A neutral stimulus, like sounding a bell, doesn't elicit this response. However, after repetitive pairings of the neutral stimulus with the unconditioned stimulus, the neutral stimulus comes to elicit the same response as the unconditioned stimulus. That is, if the bell is sounded every time a light is shone into a person's eyes, eventually they will blink when only the bell is sounded. Now the neutral stimulus (the bell) has become a conditioned stimulus. The response (blinking) to the conditioned stimulus is called a conditioned response.
Pavlov's experiment
The original and most famous example of classical conditioning involved the salivary conditioning of Pavlov's dogs. During his research on the physiology of digestion in dogs, Pavlov noticed that, rather than simply salivating in the presence of food, the dogs began to salivate in the presence of the lab technician who normally fed them. He predicted from this that if a particular stimulus in the dog’s surroundings was present when the dog was presented with food then this stimulus would become associated with food and cause salivation on its own. In his initial experiment, Pavlov used bells to call the dogs to their food; and after a few repetitions the dogs started to salivate in response to the bell. Thus, a neutral stimulus (bell) became a conditioned one from consistent pairing with the unconditioned stimulus (food). Pavlov referred to this learned relationship as a conditioned reflex.

Repetition Syndrome dogs us all...
NeurOntogenicsTM is the only therapeutic approach that purposefully and systematically
addresses the interlocking effects of neurobehavioral conditioning on all functions
of the body -
Dogs are great for studying conditioning. Once they are trained, they will, without embarrassment, do the same thing over and over. Despite the fact that we (humans) have the ability to override our training, fight against it, we are every bit as subject to internal training as dogs.
In fact, almost every thought, feeling, action and physiological process that the body engages in is largely composed of, and a function of, conditioned memory. Even when we are not outwardly acting it out, our internal state still reflects the learning from our past.
As long as those conditioned reactions exist they will repeat, dogging us over and over. This is called Repetition Syndrome. Repetition Syndrome is the conditioning of the fundamental core of healthy function, which becomes altered by layers of learning, some useful and beneficial, and some not.
A large proportion of pain, poor health, mental and emotional suffering is caused on these learned patterns of function. (conditioned memories)
Memories are subject to being erased when addressed properly.
When an interfering memory is erased, the underlying health function is immediately restored.
Neurontogenesis is a shift towards the fundamental, foundational, pure and healthy
